TFF has been invited back to participate in the expanding of young minds at one of our local high schools.

We will be speaking to 3 different classes, starting with the first period.

Day 1 (2014-01-31) - Introduction to fly-fishing Most of this is "Show and tell"Day 2 (2014-03-14) - Fly casting In the hallway is what we did last year. Day 3 (2014-04-11) - Fly Tying This is the most challenging due to the time limits. A wooly bugger may be too complicated for the limited amount of time. Ideas anyone?

Puck- count me in for talking on Jan 31st. I can't yet commit to the other dates, but I'm interested!

So, what's the agenda? On January 1st, do we give a talk 3 different times, for 3 different classes in Periods 1, 2, & 3? Or are we speaking to one class, 3 different times throughout the next few months?

Until then, here is a copy of the agenda we used. Micheal and I tagged teamed the presentation.
